Attraction Slot

From the name, you might think NetEnt’s Attraction Slot is going to be a romanced themed epic of the kind to rival love stories such as 50 Shades of Grey. Thankfully, it isn’t, instead this game plays on the mechanics of magnetic attraction and has a novel and funky sci-fi theme which is presented in a cartoon environment. With tonnes of bespoke animations and sound effects, this is one of NetEnt’s most entertaining yet basic slots despite the lack of any form of free spins feature round or for that matter and bonus game at all.

On game launch, the doors close and an elevator takes you to a mad scientists basement laboratory. He isn’t home so you get the chance to play with an array of crazy science gadgets to hopefully assemble a winning formula of coin wins either in free play or real money mode! What on the surface seems a simple slot has a unique flavour and playstyle which make it incredibly rewarding, no doubt a reason all the best online casinos like to have this and other NetEnt games in stock!

Much like older NetEnt games such as the Arabian Nights slot the Attraction slot game has just 10 paylines in play. They are fixed so the limit of your strategy adjustment will revolve around bankroll management. To that end you can select a coin value of 0.01 – 1.00 and then adjust it via one of ten different bet levels. This leaves you with a decently wide betting range of 0.10 to 100.00 credits, everyone from the slot newbie to the casino high roller is covered here!

There’s a decent range of controls we’ve become accustomed to with NetEnt slots, with quick spin, space to spin and a customisable autoplay function all available above the clear and easy to read display which reads out your balance, bet and last win (hopefully!). The 5×3 reel grid will be a familiar sight, it’s the most common slot structure after all, we do wish the paylines highlighted as they do on some NetEnt games as it can make it a little bit harder to follow sometimes (A minor gripe).

It’s time to science this!

You get five low and five high pay icons on the Attraction slot. A nice thing about this game is that much like the classic fruit machines of old, the lack of a feature game increases the rewards for actual symbol combinations in the base game. There’s up to 500x your bet available for a five of a kind run on the top paying symbols and even at the lower end the playing card symbols will still give you x30 for a full set of 10’s!

The top symbols have their own animations and sounds effects which, combine with an awesome musical backing track really keep a high tempo up on this game especially if you are playing it in quick spin mode. Whilst the graphics are good they aren’t as complicated as say the Aliens slot or as modern as the Aloha! Cluster Pays game. This allows seamless play on all mobile devices and older PC’s even if your internet connection isn’t exactly the greatest.

Magnetic Wilds

With no wild in play you might wonder what exactly it is which makes the Attraction slot so popular across such a wide range of NetEnt fans. Well, it’s all about the wilds and how they are integrated into the theme. Each time a spin starts a magnet at the outer edge of the reel frame switches position, it highlights either one of the 3 rows or reels 2,3 or 4. When the nuclear style wild spins in on a line highlighted by a magnet there is a magnetic electrical reaction and the wild expands randomly across or up the screen and initiates a re-spin! These free re-spins have the wild locked in place and if you hit another wild – the re-spin triggers again.

Imagine hitting a wild on reel 2, this expands across the first three rows and locks in place for a respin. Even if you don’t hit another wild on the next spin you’ve already chalked up two 4-of-a-kind combinations in a row – that’s how this game can pay very big in double quick time. Like any science experiment it can be hit and miss but when it hits, it’s generally a big one!

Conclusion

By using the expanding wild feature and the reel re-spins (a common feature of Microgaming slots) in the base game NetEnt have managed to come up with a game which has huge anticipation on each and every spin which you play. When you combine a medium level of variance or volatility with a very high RTP common to NetEnt games, the pay-out potential is very big considering the relatively small bets to play. The unusual setup and play also has a very broad appeal, there’s enough bite to keep serious slots players happy whilst casual players will enjoy the entertainment Value and new slots players will find the game incredibly easy to follow. Either as a free to play slot emulator or a real cash game we can’t recommend this one enough for both desktop and mobile device play!
